Der Name des Glücks

In his fourth poetry collection for children, poet Uwe-Michael Gutzschhahn tells stories of night and day, of feelings and thoughts, of loudness and quietness, of wandering packs of dogs and watchful cats, all while playfully experimenting with language. He beams himself to a distant star, bringing along fries and lemonade, catches a falling bird like a ball in his hands, takes a steep shot towards the moon, watches a rooster in love with a swan, assembles a quirky orchestra, and invents hilarious swear words to mimic. The book oscillates between quiet contemplation and wild nonsense, with imagination taking the wildest turns.
